Clarifying Toner
combination and oily skin
Using a toner after cleansing  is a simple  and effective way to prepare your skin for the rest of your skincare routine, whilst offering your skin many natural botanical strengthening and nourishing benefits. Toners can help to remove dirt, oils and impurities more efficiently than cleanser alone, and leave your skin better protected against environmental stressors.
 
Our facial toner for combination and oily skin is specially formulated to balance excessive oiliness, soothe redness and irritation and minimise the appearance of blemishes, blackheads and enlarged pores, leaving your skin looking and feeling healthy, toned and perfectly prepped for applying moisturiser. Nettles have well-researched astringent and protective antioxidant properties. Lavender and rosemary provide additional healing, antibacterial properties and a wonderful refreshing, uplifting fragrance.
 
This toner may also be used as a deliciously refreshing facial spritz at anytime, including over make-up. 
 
Directions for use: 
After cleansing in the mornings and evenings, we recommend misting Clarifying Toner onto your face  and gently patting it into the skin, before applying moisturiser. Alternatively, if you prefer, spray the toner onto a cotton wool pad till saturated and gently wipe over your face.
